In 1987, the Internafional Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC)

initiated the use of a four-character IADC system for roller cone bits.
I " 7 C Code - 4th Character Classification -.1; - - - , . --.---- -4

In 1992, the system was expanded to include more features.

4th Code Character eature 1, Security DBS Nomenclature
I w
The system involves the combination of the traditional three-numeral
system with a fourth alpha character. This fourth character more clearly
defines additional features of roller cone bits with regard to cutting
structures, bearings, seals, hydraulics and spec@ applications.

The co& to the right are used in the fourth position of the IM I Mntnr annlirntinn I -
fourth-character IADC bit classijication system.
